West Midlands Safari Park are excited to announce that popular children’s TV characters will be coming to meet and greet guests at the Park, this May half term!- Running from the 25 May to 2 June.

Appearing for the first time will be Sonic the Hedgehog and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters, Leo and Raph.

PR & Events Executive, Bethan Davis, said:

After the popularity of previous meet and greets we have hosted, we wanted to give our guests another chance to meet their favourite characters. We asked our guests for suggestions of who we should invite next on our social media pages, so the characters who will be joining us were the most popular.

We feel that we have a great mix this year, from toddler TV favourites JJ and PAW Patrol to Sonic and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for older kids. We would urge guests to secure their meet and greet ticket, by choosing the pre-bookable time slots online before their visit.

The characters will be making personal appearances at ticketed meet and greet sessions in our Safari Academy (at no additional cost to admission tickets) on the following dates:

Bluey – 25 & 26 May
Sonic the Hedgehog™ – 27 May
Hey Duggee – 28 May
Leo & Raph – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mutant Mayhem) – 29 May
The Gruffalo – 30 May
JJ – CoComelon – 31 May
Chase & Skye – PAW Patrol – 1 & 2 June

During the meet and greet session, groups of up to six people will be able to meet and interact with the character and take a picture with them.
Additionally, brand-new family ride, Jungle Jeeps, will be opening during May half term, featuring a tour of the tropics in a self-drive safari jeep.
